Ugh I know this feeling, I'm applying to jobs as well. Constantly working on improving my chances (i.e. learning and working on interview skills) helps me not fall into a pit of despair. Even if the eventual job offer is partially the result of a bunch of random processes, the illusion/feeling of progress makes the whole endeavour feel a bit less hopeless. I've come up against the ol' Dunning-Kruger effect so many times though. oh shit I didn't know I should have been doing that all along etc
